What: CNY Charity Preparation
When: Mid-Jan 2015

Phyllis, Participant:
Few years back we took approximately 4-5 days to finish baking the cookies.
Last year, we took 2-3 days.
And this year? we managed to finish baking 280 bottles of honey joys in 1.5 days!
I guess we are getting the hang of it? Haha!
Fun facts aside, I think being able to be involved in the preparation leading up to the charity drive is definitely a meaningful one. Although it might seem like a daunting task to bake in such large quantity, the joy derived upon the completion of every bottle is unmeasurable.
This year unlike previous years, we received voucher sponsorship! Well, I was tasked with the job to jot down all the elderly’s names and unit numbers on every piece of voucher and red packet. There were literally 8 stacks of vouchers + 1 big stack of red packets piled in front of me and I was wondering to myself if it would even be possible to finish writing their details on it manually! Haha but I guess it would not be an RBKD event without some challenges right?
With all that being said, I am thankful to be given this opportunity yet again to participate in this charity drive. Thank you all who contributed to the preparation leading up to the final day because without you all it would not have been possible!
